On this 13 day November personally appeared on open court before The Justices of The Court of Phase & Maestas Superior now sitting Sanders Gwyn of the County of Ashe in the State of North Carolina resident by age seventy five years the Eleventh day of last March who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7. 1832. - That he entered the Service of the United States under the following names officer and served as hereinafter stated.
He was born in New Jersey near the Village of Freehold and when he was nine years old his father removed to the Highlands of New York in the neighborhood of Goshen. He resided there and in the Army until his twenty first year when he removed to Rowan County near Salisbury where he resided ten years & upwards when he removed to this County where he has resided ever since. He has no record of his birth the family bible in which it was having been carried to Indiana upwards of twenty years ago. His first service was in the State of New York a volunteer in the Militia under Captain Smith in the the regiment commanded

by Col. Perry & Thurston under General Clinton. he was at the building & helped to build a fort below fort Montgomery called the Burnt Ridge fort or fort Tryon each term of service was two months. the corps was called the Minute Men but he continued to serve all the time for between two and three years under various Captains Miller Smith & others. but he thinks the same Colonel and General he had various written discharges for his service as the period would expire but they were lost his house having been burnt and they discharges with it. He was near New London when the battle took place on Long Island and remained until Fort Montgomery was evacuated just before which he went home being discharged. He then got a furlough and came to North Carolina to Ransom his first tour of service in the south was from Ransom County under Capt. Loffe afterwards made a Colonel went down Pee dee River towards Camden when the battle of Colson took place which he was not engaged in but was in the skirmish with the Tories at the Grassy Island. Col. Fanning commanded the Tories - Col. Childs commanded our troops & was wounded. This tour was about six weeks - on their return he volunteered under Captain Cunningham when they went to Lynch Creek in South Carolina for two months. when he was discharged. He was continued under the same Capt Cunningham as a ranger for about

six months more but did not go far from home - they continued so until the British came into Amos - but before this he was with Capt Amos as a volunteer. Guarding the prisoners taken at Camden, as he believes, he was engaged in the six weeks or two months, when the prisoners were delivered to other Corps in Virginia.
From that time he was out as a volunteer with Captain Headrick as a Minute Man as long as troops were called for. he believes his service at the South was two years. -
